Hi, The same thing happened to me and i tried to glue it and rebuild it for months and it was never the same. In the end i used an arm from a BG4002. Its a bit different but if you are handy with a hacksaw then you just have to put a diagonal cut in the same place as the BG4000 arm and a small hole to locate it with a screw. Its far easier to hold of

The quote for B&O was £125 just to look at it, but they thought that if they were to do a simple service that it would be included in that. I only mentioned changing the capacitors cause i was told earlier that they are only designed to last a few years. Of course i wouldn't get the work done unless i thought it was needed though. The

Im based near Camberwell, so a careful drive to Coulsden is probably better than heading to Kilburn or Harrow. I really just want to get it checked out as it was overheating a bit and occasionally making a slight grinding noise on the return of the arm. If I get it taken in I will most likely get the capacitors all changed as i guess this has never

Thanks for that. Ill give them a call but they are the opposite side of London to me. I have heard that AVA services in Surrey might be good. Anyone used them? On a side note. HAs anyone replaced the capacitors with high quality branded ones and noticed a huge sound difference? thanks Tom

Hello, from my earlier thread, i think its time i got a good service on my 4000. I live in South London. I spoke to B&O and they can have it looked at in the Bexelyheath branch. Anyone have any experience with them? Are there any other places that anyone would recommend? Thanks Tom

Anyone recommend a good place to get it serviced. Im based in South london Thanks Tom

Hi, as a follow up. Ive been using my BG4000 sparingly and keeping an eye on it. Ive noticed that there seems so be a bit more crackle now. The cart is in perfect nick, so it cant be that. Also ive noticed that occasionally it can make a slight grinding sound when the arm returns. Also very occasionally, the beginning of the record can sound all over

Cheers for your replies guys. Can I ask? Will it ruin my turntable if i don't change them now and wait for it to get worse? I've been using the turntable a few times since and although not for along as before. It doesn't seem to be getting hot very fast. If i do need to do the work, can i do it myself? And would you have an idea where i

Hi, I have been using my Beogram 4000 for the last few years without any issues. Last weekend i had some freinds over and we were playing records for around 8 hours non stop. I noticed that after say 5 hours or so that the deck was getting quite hot indeed. I had been playing with the lid down, so after i continued but with the lid up. Everything seems

True, will see if i can connect first, but as the plastic looks like a clean break im not sure i can do any harm if i neatly glue the two pieces together, as i said the wiring seems ok, but i do take your point. I really do not want to make things worse. I will see if i can contact Tim Jarman as i am not too far from Farnborough how much does he normally
